Mombasa is nice at this time of year. The temperature gets up to 93 degrees F and the low is in the upper 70's. It's raining lightly today. The rainy season is supposed to be starting soon. They need it here. It has been dry for the last couple of years.
Went for a dinner cruise on the Tamarind Dhow last night.http://www.tamarinddhow.com/ It was an excellent meal in a unique atmosphere. The only way that it would have been better is for Natalie to have been with me. The Dhow did not have the tarp during the cruise. The food was great and the service was top notch.
I had an excellent steak and for desert we had (I saw this in the Chronicles of Narnia movie)........Turkish Delight. It was very unique. It was a jellied candy with hints of mint, orange peel, strawberry, and I don't know what else.
The rain has stopped. I've been told that the rains like to occur at night and in the early morning. We'll see. That would be nice.
There is a rainbow in the south this morning.
I moved to a large, one bedroom apartment with a beautiful view and a large balcony. It sure is nice to be able to fix breakfast as I want it.
I hope to make it to a wildlife preserve next Sunday. Kenya does not allow hunting because they want the wildlife to prosper and the tourists to see it. They are very serious about keeping their wildlife.
Tune in next week for another adventure. I expect to make a field trip to another country and will keep you posted.

Yes, that would have been really nice and romantic for me to have been there. Now can you come home, please?
Interesting story with a good picture to let our imaginations roam. What kind of camera do you have? I know people from treknature.com and my friend Scott of ScottEversPhotography.blogspot.com that might trade you their right arm for the opportunity to take your place at that nature preserve. You can go to treknature.com and find photo shots from Kenya to see what others have done. You might could get some tips there too. Can you rent cameras over there?
Enjoyed today's post and looking forward to see what you come up with from your nature preserve visit.

ps Natalie, wouldn't it be nice to be able to clone Ben. You could have one that you send off to provide a living for the family, and one to keep around to do with as you please. But then, I'd want a copy too to visit with and play chess whenever I wanted. Shucks, this could get complicated...
When are you going to give me more pictures...;(
